Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Nurses complete many tasks that require skill, judgment, fine motor control, and other types of expertise that are difficult to replicate with AI. One such skill would be:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B - Wound care.
Rationale:
1. Wound care requires specialized knowledge and skills to assess, clean, dress, and monitor wounds properly.
2. Nurses must use critical thinking and judgment to determine the best treatment plan for each individual patient.
3. Fine motor control is essential for performing delicate procedures such as wound debridement and suturing.
4. AI lacks the human touch and empathy needed to provide comfort and emotional support to patients during wound care procedures.
Summary:
A, C, D: These tasks can be automated or delegated to non-nursing staff as they do not require the same level of expertise and human touch as wound care.
E, F, G: Irrelevant options provided.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse manager knows that the most serious effect that absenteeism has on the nursing unit is that:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: unacceptable patient care may result. Absenteeism in nursing can lead to short-staffing, increased workload on remaining staff, and compromised patient safety. This can result in errors, delays in care, and overall poor patient outcomes. Other choices are incorrect because A does not necessarily inspire absenteeism, C overlooks the benefits of new perspectives, and D prioritizes financial savings over patient care.
Question 3 of 5
The chief nursing officer of a Magnet hospital has conducted a study of ways to improve healthcare services. Healthcare services that add value for clients:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: minimize cost. Minimizing cost in healthcare services adds value for clients by ensuring affordability and accessibility of care. This approach can lead to better outcomes and increased patient satisfaction. Exclusively using high-technology treatments (
A) may not always be necessary and could increase costs without improving outcomes. Decreasing health outcomes (
B) goes against the goal of adding value for clients. Increasing the price of healthcare (
C) would create a barrier to access and may not necessarily reflect improved value.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer intravenous fluids via an infusion pump to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent an electrical hazard?
Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A, B, C, E
Rationale:
A: Unplug the cord by grasping the plug - This is important to prevent damaging the cord and causing an electrical hazard.
B: Ensure the plug has three prongs - Three-prong plugs are grounded and reduce the risk of electrical shocks.
C: Avoid rolling equipment over extension cords - Rolling equipment can damage cords, leading to electrical hazards.
E: Disconnect electrical equipment before cleaning - Cleaning equipment while still connected can lead to electric shock or damage.
Summary:
Choice D is incorrect as plugging the pump close to a sink can increase the risk of electrical hazards due to water exposure.
Question 5 of 5
The most important approach that a nurse manager can take with an emotionally troubled employee is to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: assist the employee in obtaining professional help. This approach recognizes the limitations of the nurse manager's role and expertise. By encouraging the employee to seek professional help, the nurse manager ensures the employee receives appropriate care from trained professionals. This is crucial for addressing emotional issues effectively. Adjusting work schedules or standards of care may not address the root cause of the emotional distress and could potentially enable the employee's behavior. Acting as a therapist exceeds the nurse manager's scope of practice and may not provide the employee with the necessary support and interventions.
